Atlanta Man In Critical After Being Robbed At Grocery Store Targeted By Moms Demand Action

Criminals do not obey gun laws, just as they refuse to obey laws against armed robbery and attempted murder.

his Fulton County incident underscores the failure of the Moms Demand philosophy, as a member of a popular area choir was shot and critically injured in a robbery attempt in a grocery store parking lot, one of the locations that the gun control group insists that citizens shouldn’t be able to carry lawfully-owned firearms.

A South Fulton County man is in critical condition after being shot in the parking lot of a grocery store last Thursday.

Daniel McHugh, 48, of Atlanta was the victim of a robbery attempt according to Fulton County Police.

McHugh just walked out of the Kroger at 6055 Old National Highway and got into his car when two men opened the driver side door. According to a police incident report officers found McHugh leaned back in the driver’s seat, yelling he had been shot. Bystanders were helping put pressure on a gunshot wound to his stomach.

McHugh is fighting for his life at Grady Memorial Hospital leaving his friends and roommates to wonder who would shoot him for no reason. “Dan is such a nice easy going guy and if you can think having something like this to happen to somebody of his caliber, it just hit me really, really hard,” said Rob Rogers.
